Glitch with location
My friends location jumps from spot to spot on the map when I refresh it… to places impossible to reach between the times I checked… is this a glitch or are they messing with their location?

Hi there A_004,
Do you see this happening with any other friends locations you may see in Find My (if available)? This can help us know if the issue is with one specific friend or multiple within the app.
If it's multiple friends, you can see if restarting your iPhone may help. Restarting can refresh the software and apps on your iPhone, which can sometimes resolve unexpected issues. If needed the steps below show how:
"How to restart your iPhone X, 11, 12, 13, or later
- Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.
- Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
- To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo."
Those steps are from this article: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support If you need instructions for a different iPhone model, that article will have the steps you need too. Let us know if that helps or if you've already tried restarting your iPhone.
Take care.
